Why it was refused
- By virtue of its design and its position to the front elevation of the dwelling, the proposed dormer would have an unacceptable impact upon the design of the original dwelling and in turn cause harm to the wider character and appearance of the street scene, in conflict with Para 139 of the National Planning Policy Framework, Policies DM16 and DM24 of the Adopted Pendle Local Plan Fourth Edition (2021-2040), and the Adopted Pendle Design principles SPD. Planning, Building Control and Regulatory Services Assistant Director Application Ref: 26/0171/HHO Date: 27th April 2026
